Title: Need for early construction of a railway line between Dehanu and Nasik in Maharashtra – Laid.
(DAHANU) :Dahanu, Telasani, Vikgramagad, Wada, Jawhar Mokhada Talukas in Thane district and Trimbakeshwar Taluka in Nasik district are tribal Talukas and most backward. Tribals from these talukas are migrating every year to search employment and therefore education of their children is adversely affected. Those who remain in the village suffer from malnutrition.
Construction of Dahanu, Nasik railway line is important because it passes through most backward tribal belt of Thane and Nasik District. It is the long standing demand from the tribal people, various organisations, all political parties and representatives. As result of constant demand for construction of new Railway line, the Ministry of Railways completed work of survey.
By construction of this Railway line industrial belt of Taraput, Dahanu, Umbergaon Vapi and Dadra Nagar Hevili will connect to Industrial belt of Nasik, Igatpuri and Northern Maharashtra. Nasik and Trimbakeshwar are well known pilgrimage centres and lacs of devotees visit these places daily from all over India.
I urge the Government to undertake construction of Railway line between Dahanu and Nasik.
